Vasil Kisil & Partners represented international tobacco company

Vasil Kisil & Partners defended the interests of a Ukrainian subsidiary of a major international tobacco company in a dispute with the tax authorities regarding alleged violations of Ukrainian legislation on licensing of wholesale trade of tobacco products. The amount of fines was equal to USD 137 million.

VKP’s lawyers were able to successfully resolve this dispute in trial court, as well as appellate and Supreme Administrative Courts of Ukraine. The Supreme Administrative Court of Ukraine did not allow the tax authority to bring the case for review before the Supreme Court of Ukraine.

 

VKP’s team was led by partner Andriy Stelmashchuk and included managing partner Oleg Makarov, senior counsellor Vadym Belyanevych and associate Tetyana Matsyuk.
